Perform the following:

  1. Open SQL Studio Manager.
  2. Expand DB > Programmability > Functions > Scalar-Valued Functions.
  3. Replace the following line: 
    select @DataRetainDays = CurrentValue from Settings where SettingID = 'SWNetPerfMon-Settings-Retain Detail'
    with
    SET @DataRetainDays= <requested/>
  4. Verify that the value has been updated in.apm_GetOrionRetainDetailDate < apm_GetOrionRetainHourlyDate < apm_GetOrionRetainDailyDate
